The swisstone SH 6X0 series comprises Smart Wi-Fi cameras designed for remote home monitoring, offering a range of models including the SH 600, SH 615, and SH 620. These devices allow users to record videos, snap pictures, and receive notifications upon detecting motion or sound, provided there is an active internet connection. The cameras are managed through the KAFO app, which is compatible with Android version 4.1 and later, and iOS version 8.0 and later, requiring a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for operation.
To begin using the camera, users must first install the KAFO app on their smartphone, available from Google Play or the App Store. After installation, registration for a new account or logging into an existing one is required. It's important to remember the username and password for potential integration with other smart home systems like Amazon Echo or Google Home.
Adding a device to the app involves connecting the camera's mains adapter to an electrical wall socket, ensuring the device is within Wi-Fi network range and away from potential sources of radio signal interference. The mobile device used for setup must be connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network as the camera. Within the KAFO app, users click "Add Device" or the "+" icon, then select "Security Camera" as the device type. A crucial step is to ensure the blue Wi-Fi indicator on the camera blinks quickly; if not, the reset button should be pressed and held for 5 seconds. Once the indicator blinks rapidly, users confirm this in the app.
The next step involves selecting the Wi-Fi network the phone is connected to and entering its password. After the app and device establish a connection, users can rename the camera to a suitable, unique name, such as "Living room." For integration with Amazon Alexa or Google Home, a simple and easily understandable name is recommended. Once setup is complete, clicking "Done" adds the device to the app's list. The app also offers a "Share to family" feature, allowing users to share device control with family members by entering their KAFO account details. The SH 620 model specifically offers the additional feature of wall mounting, secured with appropriate screws.
The KAFO app provides two main viewing options: "Live View" and "Playback." In "Live View," users can listen to sound via the phone, switch between SD and HD video quality, access motion detection settings, open the microphone to talk through the phone, record video, and take screenshots. The "Playback" feature allows users to view recorded content stored on an SD card, showing the exact time and date of recording. From this mode, users can also record video and take screenshots.
Device properties can be accessed by clicking the "..." icon in the upper right corner of the app. Here, users can modify the device name, which is useful if the camera is moved to a new location. The "Device sharing" option allows sharing control with other KAFO accounts. "Device info" provides detailed information about the camera. "Basic Feature Settings" offers various fundamental adjustments. "Sound Detection Settings" allows users to set the sensitivity level for sound detection (Off, Low, High), triggering notifications when sound is detected. Similarly, "Motion Detection Settings" enables adjustment of motion detection sensitivity (Off, Low, High), sending notifications upon motion detection.
For storage, the "SD Card Settings" allow users to insert an SD card for recordings. It's important that any added micro SD card is formatted with FAT32 and has a maximum size of 128 GB. The app also includes options to "Send Feedback" to developers and "Check for Firmware Update" to keep the device updated with the latest improvements. If a device is no longer needed, it can be removed using the "Remove Device" option.
The "Profile" section of the app, accessible via the "..." icon in the upper right corner, offers additional settings. "Scenes" refers to previously configured scenarios. "Device sharing" is available here as well, for sharing control with other KAFO accounts. The "Message Center" displays messages from devices or the service, such as motion or sound detection alerts. "Scan QR code" facilitates adding devices that come with a QR code. Users can also "Feedback" to developers and access "About" information, which includes options to "Rate Us," check the "Current version" of the app, and "Check for Update" for the latest improvements.
Maintenance features primarily revolve around troubleshooting and ensuring optimal performance. A factory reset can resolve many issues by restoring the device to its default settings, erasing all custom configurations. To perform a reset, the reset button on the SH 6X0 must be pressed and held for 5 seconds until the LED indicator blinks quickly, after which the device enters pairing mode.
Safety instructions emphasize keeping the unit and accessories out of reach of small children, as they may contain small parts. The mains adapter serves as the disconnect device, and the mains socket outlet should be easily accessible. The product should only be used for its intended purpose and protected from moisture, rain, snowfall, and all types of liquid, which can corrode electronic circuits. If the unit gets wet, the battery should be removed (if applicable) and the unit allowed to dry completely before replacement. The camera should not be used or stored in dusty, dirty, or warm places, as this can damage components, reduce lifespan, or distort plastics. Similarly, cold places can cause condensation and damage. The unit should not be dropped, knocked, or shaken to prevent damage to circuits and precision mechanics. Strong chemicals should not be used for cleaning. The product should not be used in areas where electronic devices are prohibited, nor should it be modified in any way, as this voids the warranty. Disassembly, repair, or modification by the user is not recommended. If the unit malfunctions, users should contact the place of purchase for service, retaining the receipt or invoice as proof of purchase.
Regarding environmental considerations, the product and its electronic accessories should not be disposed of with other household waste, but rather separated and recycled responsibly. Batteries in the product should also be disposed of separately through local, free battery return systems, as they may contain mercury, cadmium, or lead, which can harm human health and the environment if not properly managed.
